I'm planning on getting a Swiftech 226Watt. Though I'm also planning on a DD68. If I put a RAD like say, a Black Ice Micro inbetween the two will I still get good temps on the NV68 compared to a NV Silencer or something?

I know the TEC with the CPU will put out something like 310 watts, and the BIM can disipate 275 theororetically. Basically I'm wondering what it does in the real world.

I'm also wondering if I should have put this in water cooling, but that's a different matter.

the water moves fast enough where the water temperature difference between components is minimal. i could not put a BIM for a 226w pelt + cpu, maybe a 6800 series card alone though. 275w dissipation would be with some aggressive 80mm fans (read loud.)

you will be using another Rad on top of that BIM right?

Yeah, a BIX3, the BIM is for inbetween the CPU and GPU.
